In winter, the warm and clear sunlight penetrates the clouds and gently spreads on the ancient stone road in front of the towering building of the Knights of Favonius. The sunlight interweaves with the cold stone surface, reflecting a quiet and majestic beauty.

Lin Yide walked towards the building with steady steps.

Fengyuan Manye and Lei Dapao, like two loyal guards, followed him on his left and right sides respectively.

The three of them, dressed in the neat uniforms of the Western Factory SS, exuded a daunting aura as they walked along.

As the group of people approached, Knight Atuo, who was guarding the door, felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

The air around him seemed to freeze at that moment, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Soon, Lin Yide and the other two walked into a spacious conference room.

In the conference room, beside the rectangular conference table, Jean, Diluk and Grace were already sitting upright, waiting for their arrival.

Lin Yi pulled out the chair reserved for himself and sat down calmly, while Fengyuan Manye and Lei Dapao stood behind him as straight as pine and cypress trees.

He tapped the table lightly with his hand, indicating the official start of the negotiations.

The first to speak was Qin. She said firmly, "The circulation of Fontaine's products in Mond must be restricted. Otherwise, countless Mond people will lose their jobs and have no means of livelihood."

As soon as the words fell, Grace immediately raised an objection.

Her tone was serious and firm: "Captain Qin, I cannot agree with your opinion. Mondstadt is a country that advocates freedom, and the circulation of goods should also adhere to the principle of freedom."

Qin frowned, she understood that the root of Grace's opposition to her point of view was the benefits brought by the 16% share dividend.

In addition to donations from believers, most of the income of the Church of Favonius comes from grants from the Knights of Favonius, and its financial situation is not optimistic.

Most church members live a relatively poor life.

Therefore, when faced with the temptation of a 16% dividend, the church chose to support the free flow of Fontaine goods in Mond without hesitation.

Qin said seriously: "The circulation of goods should be free, but not now. It needs a gradual process."

At this time, Lin Yide interrupted in a calm tone, "Fontaine's products can circulate freely in relatively backward countries like Inazuma, so why are they blocked in Mondstadt?

Doesn't this mean that, in terms of freedom, Mondstadt, the so-called free country, is actually inferior to the feudal country of Inazuma?

Qin was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

It is true that Inazuma is more ignorant and backward than Mond, but the Inazuma people have one advantage - they are hardworking. They are passionate about their work and are even willing to work overtime in exchange for a better life.

In contrast, the people of Mondstadt were much more casual, working no more than five or six hours a day, and then spending the rest of the time immersed in the laughter and joy of the tavern.

When Fontaine's goods flood into the Mond market like a tide, the people of Mond will not improve their lives through hard work like the Inazuma people, but may instead become impoverished.

However, she really found it difficult to say the reason in such a public occasion.

Seeing her embarrassment, Diluk snorted and stood up: "Captain Qin, since you don't want to tell me, let me explain the reason.

It's very simple. The casual character of the Mond people makes them unable to resist the powerful impact of Fontaine's goods. "

Qin heard this, her expression became gloomy and she chose to remain silent.

Grace said bluntly: "The people of Mondstadt should go to church more often, listen to Lord Barbatos's teachings, and work hard, so that they can better embrace freedom."

Lin Yide tapped the cold table with his fingers again, and the "dong dong" sound echoed in the empty conference room.

He didn't say anything, just stared at Qin quietly.

Qin's heart was suddenly filled with bitterness.

This was Lin Yide's silent reminder to her that she had no room for resistance.

After a long silence, Lin Yide slowly stood up from his seat and stretched his body. "Since no one objects, then this matter is decided."

Jean, Diluk and Grace all chose to remain silent, and this silence was their default attitude.

Seeing the reactions of the three people, Lin Yide was quite satisfied. He continued, "In two days, someone from the Funina Foundation will come to discuss this matter with you in detail."

Just as he was about to leave, Qin suddenly asked, "Boss Yide, who is the 1% dividend reserved for?"

Lin Yide casually pointed in the direction of the statue of the God of Wind, then turned around leisurely and left the meeting room.

Diluk, Jean and Grace, who stayed where they were, were completely stunned.

Lin Yide had just stepped out of the meeting room when a small red figure suddenly jumped out happily from the confinement room opposite.

“Handsome bad uncle!” Keli shouted angrily. She immediately recognized Lin Yide who had lured her to blow up pigeons. “It’s all because of you that Keli has been locked up for a long time.”

Lin Yide squatted down and said to Keli with a smile: "I am actually doing a good deed. Those pigeons always hover over the city gate bridge, and many passers-by have been 'attacked' by their excrement.

Now that you have dealt with them, the people are thanking the Knights of Sparks."

Klee's face immediately broke into a bright smile, "Really? Spark Knight Klee finally did a good thing!"

"Keli," Lin Yide continued to encourage, "There are still many pigeons left on the city gate bridge."

"Klee, go and blow them all up right now!" Klee couldn't wait to pick up her small backpack and ran away.

Lin Yide and the other three had just walked near the city gate when they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the direction of the city gate bridge not far away.

Lin Yide stopped and turned back to the city with Fengyuan Manye and Lei Dapao, hiding his achievements and fame.
